<p>Best Buy is selling a microwave and mini-fridge - BOTH for $99. The fridge is small but it’s still a pretty good deal. :)</p>

<p>Eh, it might be a good deal, but I got a floor model of that exact same fridge at Best Buy for less than $30, and I know you can get comparable microwaves for around 30 or 40 bucks. However, the convenience of getting both is nice. (Note: that size fridge is TINY. You can’t fit a Brita filter, a half-gallon of milk or anything that is taller than about 7 inches…)</p>

<p>Get the larger fridges - about 2 cubic feet or so. That’s enough for two people (or one, if you keep a lot of food in there). Also try to find one with a half-way decent freezer if you are an ice cream addict.</p>

<p>I already have the largest size fridge, but it costs $100+ new - just trying to help out people who are on a tight budget but still want a fridge. :)</p>

<p>… and, of course, it’s probably cheaper than renting. :)</p>

<p>yeah, definitely - at least at my school, you could practically buy the fridge they let you rent for the price you can rent it for!</p>

<p>At my alma mater, the rent was more than a fridge & microwave cost. They didn’t allow microwaves to be plugged in except when in use, so it was completely worth it to have it unplugged and save a few hundred dollars.</p>

<p>Summer storage is a problem for some people, though.</p>

<p>Sears has a lot more microwaves and mini-fridges you should check them out too.</p>

<p>My school has microwaves and mini-fridges in all the dorm rooms for free, so make sure your school doesn’t give you one before you buy it yourself! ;)</p>
